St. Clare is the little plant of St. Francis, as she called herself. A blog to my call to become a Poor Clare Colettine. If St. Clare was a "little plant", I am a scraggly weed.

Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament

Reflections of St.
Padre
Pio

"A
thousand
years of
enjoying human glory is not worth
even an hour spent sweetly communing with Jesus in the Blessed
Sacrament."

"Run to the feet of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Confide all yourneeds to Him, along with those of others."

”Stay with me, Lord, because I need
to have Thee present so as not to
forget Thee. Thou knowest how easily I abandon Thee; Stay with me,
Lord,
because I am
weak, and I need Thy strength so as not to fall so often; Stay with
me, Lord, because Thou art my life, and without Thee I am without
fervor; Stay with me,
Lord,
because Thou art my light, and without Thee, I am in darkness; Stay
with
me,
Lord, to show me Thy will; Stay with me, Lord, so that I can hear Thy
voice,
and follow Thee; Stay with me, Lord, because I desire to love
Thee ever
more and to be always in Thy company; Stay with me, Lord, if Thou
doth want
me
to be always faithful to Thee; Stay with me, Lord, because my soul is
so
poor
that it desires to be for Thee a site of consolation, an abode of
love.”

"In the most holy
Sacrament of the Eucharist, in this Sacrament of love, we have true
life, a blessed life, and true
happiness."

Our
Lady of the Most
Blessed Sacrament Prayer

Virgin Immaculate,
perfect lover of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament,
we ask thee to obtain for us the graces we need to become true adorers
of our
Eucharistic God. Grant us, we beg of thee, to know Him better, to love
Him more,
and to center our lives around the Eucharist, that is, to make our
whole life a
constant prayer of adoration, thanksgiving, reparation, and petition to
Our
Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Amen.
"Pray for us, O Virgin
Immaculate, Our Lady of the Most
Blessed Sacrament. That the Eucharistic
Kingdom of Jesus Christ may come among
us!" (St. Peter Julian Eymard)
